The standardized version of readv() and writev() take an int as the third parameter. Arguably a size_t makes more sense, but the standardization bodies decided otherwise. The non-standard functions of readv_pos() and writev_pos() have been updated for consistency. The corresponding _kern_readv() and _kern_writev() internal functions continue to take the size_t parameter. The ABI will not change, even though on 64 bit machines the size of the count parameter will change from 8 to 4 bytes. The actual use will be slightly different. Like with the size_t argument type, it will not be possible to give a count lower than 0. If the value is less than 0, then the B_BAD_VALUE/EINVAL error will be set.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
